Prince Harry Won The First Stage Of His Libel Lawsuit Against A UK Tabloid After A Court Ruled That A Story About Him Was Defamatory

“The article does signal clearly to the reader that the actions of the claimant, captured in meaning, are discreditable or worthy of criticism,” London High Court Justice Matthew Nicklin wrote.

 

 

A British High Court ruled that parts of a UK tabloid story about Prince Harry were “defamatory,” securing an early victory for the Duke of Sussex in his libel lawsuit against the publishers of the Mail on Sunday.

 

Harry is suing Associated Newspapers Limited over a story published in February about the duke’s legal proceedings against the UK’s Home Office over police protection for himself and his family.

 

In a decision published Friday, London High Court Justice Matthew Nicklin wrote that the “natural and ordinary” meaning of the Mail on Sunday’s article met the legal threshold for defamation. “Overall, the article does signal clearly to the reader that the actions of the claimant, captured in meaning, are discreditable or worthy of criticism,” he wrote.

And how exactly is a case about misreporting over a security detail dispute classed as being “woke”?

Ginge and Cringe trying to stay relevant.

 

They should be grateful for the column inches. Declining rapidly. Thankfully.

The Royalty are fair game just the same as the rest of the population, and to a point they do bring on a lot of attention to themselves.

But the tabloids must learn there is a line that in fairness to all cannot be crossed.

Deformation is the same for all.

Since when?

It is only the rich who can afford to bring a case and stand the chance and costs of losing!

How much did the Markles win in their last lawsuit against the Mail? Wasn't it something like 1 pound?
